The inspector spoke to over 200 instructors from 16 high schools throughout the district. His speech was one of the high­ lights of the day-long convention. He challenged teachers to pre­ pare pupils for living with well- balanced and well-developed sonalities. “It ou must assist in the velopment of good citizens can think for themselves”, dents should be taught to be critical of everything they read and to think logically. “There is a lot of trash and half-truth to throw away”, he said. “Educa­ tion ought to help the pupils throw away what is not goodv Education ought to help the pupil distinguish what is first rate from what is not.” Mr. Booth spoke in the morn­ ing, shortly after the conference began.

Older Methods Defended A defence of the old _____ thought in education was the theme of Mr. O’Neil’s and he directed those in the form of a castigation of all those who claim that the schools of the earlier part of the century were places of dreariness where incompetent teachers taught useless subjects to stu­ dents who hated both the teacher and the subjects only to wind up as the leaders in our national industry, education, and merce today. Along with his humorous dotes and reminiscences ■* W. of school of remarks, remarks com- anec- came the thought that the modern idea of providing education as a by - product o f entertainment might have serious harmful repercussions in future years. Educators today, he claimed, may be taking on a load in the classroom never meant for them to bear. To assume the responsi­ bilities of the home, the church, and a host or arganizations with sincere but often misguided ideas can never lead to a true and lasting result in the train­ ing of the adolescent.
